ATRIUM PUBIICUM (in Capitolio)
(search)
ATRIUM PUBIICUM (in Capitolio)
a public office, perhaps containing
some of the state archives, said by Livy (xxiv. 10) to have been struck
by lightning in 214 B.C. It may possibly be identified with the tw=n
a)gorano/mwn tamiei=on, in which Polybius (iii. 26. 1) says that the treaties
between Rome and Carthage were kept in his time (Jord. i. 2. 52).

VICUS INSTEIANUS
(Varro) :
a street on the collis Latiaris,
the southern part of the Quirinal (Varro, LL v. 52), in which a great
flood of water is said to have burst forth in 214 B.C. (Liv. xxiv. IO. 8).
It probably ascended the hill near the porta Fontinalis and the modern
Piazza Magnanapoli, and was destroyed by the building of the imperial
fora.

VOLCANUS, AEDES
a temple in the campus Martius, built before 214 B.C.
for in that year-and again in 197-it was struck by lightning (Liv.
xxiv. 10. 9: aedem in campo Volcani; xxxi. 29. 1). Tradition ascribed
it to Romulus himself (Plut. Rom. 27; q. Rom. 47). It was outside
the walls of the city (Vitr. i. 7. I : (ut) Volcani vi e moenibus religionibus
et sacrificiis evocata ab timore incendiorum aedificia videantur liberari;
Plut. q. Rom. 47). Near it Verres had erected gilded equestrian statues
presented to him by the aratores of Sicily (Cic. in Verr. ii. 150, 167).
On 23rd August, the Volcanalia, sacrifice was offered to Vulcan (see
VOLCANAL). The calendars differ, however, the Fasti Vallenses (ad Kal.
Sept., CIL ia. p. 240) reading Volcano in circo Flaminio, while the Arvales
(CIL i. p. 215; cf. vi. 32482) contain no indication of place unless Volcano
is to be united with the following Nymphis in campo. (Nor is there any
indication of place in Fast. Ant. ap. NS 1921, 109.) If this
